Gallery Performance » Minimalist Sculpture and Music

Join composer Gunner Basinger next to Donald Judd’s Untitled, 1989 (Bernstein 89-24) for a solo electric guitar performance, featuring music by John Cage, Steve Reich, and Eve Beglarian. Using Judd’s sculpture as a visual companion, r Basinger will play selections of music to illustrate key aesthetic and compositional values practiced by minimalist artists across disciplines. The pieces featured will include Cage’s In a Landscape (1948), Reich’s Electric Counterpoint (1987), and Beglarian’s Until it Blazes (2001).
